Tasting notes: Very intense and forward with ripe black fruit and spicy scented nose. Full-bodied with plenty of jamm black fruit on the palate and wonderful hints of sweet spices, toasted and mineral flavours, good balance between fruit and wood, silky textured with a round and warming finish.

Notes: It is recommended to decant it or let it breathe in the glass for a time to achieve its maximum potential.
